Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic surgery
  • Pelvic anatomy
  • Autonomic nervous system

Background:

  • Pelvic autonomic nerves play a vital role in gynecologic function.
  • Damage to these nerves can lead to significant morbidity.
  • Preservation techniques are essential for optimal patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the identification and dissection techniques for pelvic autonomic nerves.
  • To emphasize the importance of preserving these nerves during complex gynecologic procedures.
  • To provide a visual guide for surgeons on nerve identification and dissection.

Main Methods:

  • Robotic surgery utilized for pelvic peritoneum excision.
  • Excision of deep endometriosis within the uterosacral ligaments.
  • Radical hysterectomy performed with meticulous nerve dissection.

Main Results:

  • Pelvic autonomic nerves are readily identifiable using endoscopic camera magnification.
  • Successful dissection and preservation of the inferior hypogastric plexus were achieved.
  • Pelvic autonomic nerves were dissected and preserved during radical hysterectomy.

Conclusions:

  • Pelvic autonomic nerves are identifiable and dissectible with endoscopic visualization.
  • Preservation of pelvic autonomic nerves is feasible and crucial during gynecologic surgery.
  • Adherence to these techniques can minimize functional deficits post-surgery.
